WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials say they have found no direct evidence of plans for an election-related terror attack after a five-week investigation, the Washington Post reported in its Saturday edition.

Citing unnamed officials in an article on the newspaper's Web site, the Post said a key CIA source who claimed knowledge of such plans has since been discredited, casting doubt on earlier pieces of evidence pointing to an attack.

That earlier information led the FBI and other agencies across the government to launch a well-publicized campaign aimed at foiling potential plots before the elections. That effort included hundreds of interviews in immigrant neighborhoods, the paper wrote.

3. Whoever is putting out these bogus alerts

should be put in jail.

The Bush administration has been manipulating and terrorizing the citizens of this country since 9-11, all for their political gain. This despicable behavior is beyond criminal.

4. Gee, CNN said that according to senior intelligence officials,

a plot to carry out a large-scale terror attack against the United States in the near future is being directed by Osama bin Laden and other top al Qaeda members.
